Vegan Chocolate Chip Banana Loaf
🌱 Vegan Chocolate Chip Banana Loaf 🍌
This Vegan Chocolate Chip Banana Loaf is a golden banana bread packed with chocolate chips and that classic cracked top. No eggs. No dairy. The bananas do the sweetening and the moisture. Mini loaf pans make it look bakery-ready and they bake faster than one big loaf.
I love using bananas that are almost black. Pretty bananas make dry bread. Don’t overmix once the flour goes in — that’s how you keep the crumb soft. 💚

The Secret to Banana Bread That Stays Moist
Mash the bananas until they’re almost pudding. A flax egg holds it together. Stop mixing the second you don’t see dry flour. If the top is browning too fast, tent with foil for the last 10 minutes.
Frequently Asked Questions ❓
Can I bake one large loaf? 🍞
Yes. Use a 9×5 pan and bake 50–60 minutes.
How ripe should the bananas be? 🍌
Spotty and soft. Green-yellow bananas won’t give you enough moisture or flavor.
Can I skip the chocolate chips? 🍫
Yes. Walnuts or blueberries work too.
